The Book Mine: The Crazy Tales of Pagla Dashu and Co.

Sukumar Ray


You never know what's going to happen in Pagla Dashu's world - it's an out-and-out romp. Life is never ordinary or dull when Dashu is around and this round-eyed, curly- haired schoolboy shakes up people and places till everyone and everything is as topsy-turvy as our hero. From his classroom antics to his playtime tactics, Dashu's impish audacity has you rolling on the floor with laughter. Join him and his equally wacky company of madcap schoolboys and geniuses, show-offs and know-it-alls, scientists and explorers, and many other unforgettable characters who will take you on a crazy roller-coaster ride through poetry epidemics, strange robberies, chaotic school plays, and imaginary lands populated by magical creatures. These 26 classic stories by Sukumar Ray have been put together for the first time in English and feature rare illustrations by the father-son duo of Satyajit Ray and Sukumar Ray.

Sukumar Ray

Sukumar Ray (1887-1923) was born in Calcutta, India, to Upendrakishore Roychowdhury, a visionary children's author, artist and publisher. Sukumar's genius was visible at an early age and in the short span of his life (he died at the age of 36), he managed to cement his position as one of the greatest children's writers of his time. He was one of the foremost writers of nonsense verse and his collections of poetry and prose have been read and re-read by children over the last 80 years. His most famous works include Abol Tabol, HaJaBaRaLa, Pagla Dashu, Bohurupee and Khai Khai. He is the father of legendary filmmaker Satyajit Ray.>
